We have this Republican, Mike somebody, running for governor in Massachusetts, who says he will lower taxes and do all kinds of other things on day one. I think we know how “day one” promises work. Especially for Republicans.

If reliable #Toyota brought back a real FJ, 2-door/4-door/removable roof (not that bloated tick from a few years ago), #Jeep would go out of business.

DotW: This week's Dog of the Week is Bertha, just up from Texas and up for adoption in Massachusetts. She's at least 125 pounds (Big Bertha) and mostly Great Pyrenees, and she's as sweet and easy as can be. She's 9-years old.

@wbztv.bsky.social Jon Keller couldn't keep up with Diana DiZoglio. I wonder why they brought him back?

F1 on Apple just isn't as good as F1 on SKY Sports. @AppleTV @f1tv.bsky.social @skysportspl.bsky.social

JFC, @Trump thought he was funny when he brought up Pearl Harbor with the Prime Minister of Japan. He is an embarrassment .

#F1 #F1Bahrain and #F1SaudiArabian GPs set to be canceled due to Trump's reckless war in the middle east.

DotW! This is Jake, the 5-year old, 75-pound, red, Golden Retriever. He loves pets and cuddles, but he has no idea how to walk on a leash or just be a dog because he was a breeder at a puppy farm. He is gentle and loving, but he needs someone to help him readjust to just being a dog.

American soldiers are being killed because the president doesn’t want you to know that he raped little children for decades. And if I’m wrong, sue me, asshole.

France, Germany, and England immediately and effectively started evacuating their citizens from the 14 countries in jeopardy. The United States has no plan. Trump and the drunk Hegserh are failures.

The fact that Trump was completely surprised at Iran’s response to the attack attack shows that there’s absolutely no leadership at the department of defense.

Well yeah!

@nytimes.com I pay for your subscription (for now), stop asking mr multiple times a day if I want to add three family members to my subscription ! I don't have three people to add!

Whoever made this, it’s BRILLIANT. Trump’s “Board of Peace.”

This is disgusting! Trump and Epstein and all of the other abusers of children are disgusting!

Mrs. Kintner went up to Sheriff Brody and said, "You knew, and now my boy is dead," and Sheriff Brody said, "But the Dow is over 50,000!"

Dog if the Week: REMY. He’s a one year-old and available for adoption now. He’s a big guy with a lot of puppy energy.

Jesus, he is truly demented

Why do I get the feeling the Ghislaine Maxwell is about to commit suicide?

This is my difficult job at the shelter...

Spy 3: This is Betrayal in Berlin, the true story of the tunnel under the Soviet embassy during the Cold War. There's an excellent fictional version of the tunnel called The Innocent by Ian McEwan.

Spy 2: This is Berlin Game, by Len Deighton, the first of the Game, Set, Match trilogy and the first of ten including Hook, Line, and Sinker and Faith, Hope, and Charity. Fabulous series! @spybrary.bsky.social

Funny how the two people I didn't vet closely enough sent the exact message to me at the exact same time.

Spy 1: As a way to deal with the craziness in the world, I'm going to begin posting some of my favorite spy books on my shelf. This is A Spy By Nature, Charles Cumming's 2001 first novel and a fictional account based on his recruitment by MI6. @charlescumming.bsky.social @spybrary.bsky.social

J. Joel Alicea, professor of law at the Catholic University of America, was acting as an apologist for Trump on PBS. Disgusting, but not surprising in the least.

I was in DC last week and picked up these beauties at @capitolhillbooks.bsky.social @spybrary.bsky.social

This weekend's reading, after seeing the tunnel display at #Spybrary #InternationalSpyMuseum

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Reader meet author. Lovely to catch up with Merle Nygate today! Honour Among Spies is one of my top spy book picks of 2024!! I agree with Charles Cumming ‘Merle Nygate is a writer to watch’ and with the podcaster who said that Merle writes ‘modern day Len Deighton-style page turners.’ #spybrary

Did real-life spy Biffy Dunderdale inspire James Bond? From sinking German trawlers at 17 to mingling with Ian Fleming, Dunderdale's life feels straight out of a spy novel. Discover his incredible story on Spybrary. Watch now on YouTube or on your favorite podcast app! #Spybrary #JamesBond

This is Jadia, a Great Pyrenees mix I spent time with today at the shelter. She's three, and very sweet. #YGRR

I am brand new here, trying to decide if I should leave Twitter forever. Steelers, dogs and cats, books, travel, bourbon... that's about it😀
